Yes, I use C. E. T. poultry Flavor toothpaste for dogs. I got a rubber thingie toothbrush that fits on my finger and let him first lick it and then rub his teeth in front and on the sides. He doesn't seem to mind it at all. I ordered the toothpaste online but you can buy it at either Petsmart or Petco.
I bought some at the market put out by Hartz called beef flavored toothpaste for dogs (Dentifrice) but he didn't care for it. So my daughter who was a vet tech told me to buy the other .....it came with the brush for about $6.00. --- In [email protected], Teacher Bunny <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Do you use toothpastes for dogs? > > Maxx doesn't seem to have enough teeth to brush yet.
